Dining room luxury vinyl tiles
Sample fitted estimates: a typical rectangular room, with underlay where needed, grippers and a door bar. Subfloor preparation is extra and checked at the measure. Removal of the old floor is not offered in this preview.
Not sure which range is right for the room?
Book a free measureA dining room sits between a living room and a kitchen in how hard it gets used: chair legs scrape, glasses get knocked over, and a big table leg can dig into a soft pile if the feet are not protected. Hard-wearing carpets, laminate and engineered wood all work well here, provided chair-leg protectors do the rest of the job.
If the dining space opens straight off a kitchen, it is worth thinking about the floor as one continuous choice rather than two, so there is no trim strip running through a room you can see the whole of from the sofa.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles questions
What is the difference between LVT and sheet vinyl?
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are rigid planks or tiles that click or glue together, rather than one continuous sheet. That gives a more realistic wood or stone look and a firmer feel underfoot, at a higher price than sheet vinyl.
Why is LVT sold in packs rather than a roll?
LVT is manufactured as individual planks or tiles boxed into packs, not cut from a roll, so there is no roll width or seam question. Instead, the pack-area rule rounds your floor area up to the next whole pack, because a part-pack still means buying the full box.
Is LVT suitable for underfloor heating?
Most LVT ranges are, but the maximum surface temperature varies by product, so this is confirmed at the measure against the specific range you choose.
Can I fit LVT in a bathroom?
Yes, provided the joins are sealed correctly. LVT copes well with everyday splashes; a fully wet room needs the seams checked carefully, which is part of what the home measure is for.
How hard-wearing is the wear layer?
The wear layer is the clear top coating that resists scuffs and scratches. A thicker wear layer generally lasts longer under heavy foot traffic, and the specification table on each range shows the figure in millimetres.
